Jack Grealish

and so it came to pass, that there were no Villa fans left on the thread.

Well he always says he's a Villa fan I'm sure in interviews. Like a lot of fans of clubs having a lean period he probably latched onto the rags to gain some small bit of reflective glory.

SWP was different. We had to sell him to balance the books so he got a pass.

SWP was hard to take but he was a talent and you wouldn’t begrudge him a move to Chelsea at the time. Gutting we spent the money on Samaras.

Pretty shocked that when Grealish signed his new contract that the buy out was put in at 100m am sure Grealish Only had 1 year left when he signed it so why so high he held the cards?!

Samaras was only 6 million if I remember rightly.

If there was no clause we wouldn’t have got him.

Nothing Villa could do.

A year from now will we be reading articles on hoe Jack Grealish went from England's most fouled player to biggest diver?

Interesting to see how it pans out. Jack is appreciated by many football fans for his ability and forward thinking play. Will they let their media-led hate of oil rich city stop their own appreciation of his talent?

The part of this that excites me the most is not so much Grealish in a city shirt, but knowing with what we demand that Grealish, Mahrez, Gundo, whoever is in that city shirt today it's because they are in top form and hungry to win.

And if we can't break you down because of eleven men behind the ball and an unsympathetic official then fine, chuck on Kane, Jesus, Foden and have a go at that for the last 30.

End of August.....end of year pffft.

Should have been 6 quid and we should have charged him subs for training.

That's where your insane squad depth has proven to be an ace in the hole whenever a crisis would hit another squad, Pep has had the resources to plug in another world class talent to fill the gaps. No team in the world outside of maybe PSG has that in the cannon.

Amazing how that was achieved without chasing the worldies out there like Pogba, Sancho and Sanchez, and without breaking the 70 million mark. We have built our squad depth sensibly, and maybe this will change in the current window though.

He can say it all he wants but his tweets say it all.

Fair point RE SWP, though football fans aren't exactly known for being the most rational.
